UFC vs NYC seats

This feels like the scared, naive, suburbanite's take on cities and public transit. Like, do you really think a system with 3 million daily riders has constant brawls?

It's a comic from WokelyCorrect. I'd be surprised if they even know how to ride transit.
- Oof I didn't even notice the author
  I like making people laugh & I dislike Woke politics. So I made these comics for us to laugh at Woke politics together and push back against its stupidities. I will stop mocking when it leaves us alone.
  Author seems to be an absolute idiot.
- Drawing comics at night to fight wokeness
  I thought it was a sarcastic comics regarding what's happening in Washington :o
- I legit thought the name was satire, like The SoyPill on YouTube.
  Wow, it turns out he's actually serious. Jeez.
But the TV said it does! I better go get in my big emotional support truck and sit in traffic instead!
- Gender affirming vehicle. Asphalt princess. Anyone got any more synonyms? I'm collecting them.
Yeah, I ride it every day and I’ve never actually seen a fight in my car.
Constant brawls no, but I’d never say the NYC subways are boring.
- I have had many, many, uneventful subway rides. Most of the time it's just people sitting and/or standing quietly. Boring is a little more subjective- someone might find people watching interesting, but even then sometimes off-peak it can be sparsely populated. Sitting in quiet non-interaction for 25 minutes with an old lady reading, a middle aged guy dozing, and another person silently looking at their phone isn't very exciting, but that's a lot of rides.
  Like, this is people's daily commute. It's not the warriors. It's not whatever wacky video surfaced on youtube. Most of the time it's just transit, and good transit is pretty boring.
- I've only ridden NYC subways a few handfuls of times but I never saw anything strange 🤷
I gather that the 80s was a whole different scene in the NYC subway. Plenty of pics out there!
Only time I was there was in '92 and it was nice enough.
- Yeah, I'm not old enough to have experienced the city in the 70s and 80s. I've heard stories but it's hard to say how credible some of them are, but I believe the city is a lot nicer than it was back then.
  Like, Bryant Park is a nice patch of green in Manhattan. They do yoga classes there. There's a holiday market. People used to call it needle park because it had some a drug user problem.
  Places change.
Helsinki subway is much, much smaller and this joke would work for it. Sometimes you see wild stuff in there

How are people upvoting this alt-right trash?

Here’s another comic by the same author

That's not Trump... That's... Giorno Giovanna?
Too bad to hear about the author. I found the comic itself to be kind of funny in an absurd way.
But know that I know what his intentions are it is time to give the author the "stone toss" treatment.
- Unconvinced: the commenter above showing yet another absurdist comic hasn't proven shit to me.
  Their claims could be true, but they need to argue more convincingly than that.
That Trump comic is still kinda funny in a lolsob kind-of way. Like, I could imagine someone who does call themselves woke making it as well. It's still saying a criminal got to be president, so...
- A lot of humour is structurally the same for left and right (we're all human, despite how inhuman the other can seem), it's just a matter of how you meant it. A lefty making this joke might have an anti-consumer angle, while a ~~dipshit~~ right wing comedian would be criticising public transit or probably just being racist.
Well, from my perspective:
Comic is funny
I have no context of who the author is or what the author did
It makes me feel superior about the Hong Kong mass transit railway system /hj
- Your ignorance shows. You'd have more luck catching a good fight at a redneck bar for free than on the NYC subway.
- I have no context of who the author is or what the author did
  Their usage of "woke" in the name is a clue
Thanks for the heads-up.

Having ridden the subway for like 20 years, I'm a little pissed that I didn't get any shows for my ticket price.

No showtime?

Damn the only thing unbelievable in this comic is the cost of riding the subway. Is it really that cheap?

Subway and most buses $2.90 a ride, and if you use the same payment method it has a maximum combined fare of $34 per week. That means that if you pay for 12 rides, any more rides are free within a 7 day period.
- Dang that’s awesome. If I were in NY I feel like I would exceed that 12 ride limit & get free rides within the first day or two hahaha.
  I used to live in Japan (in the rural north) and for a time I was also in Tokyo. Their public transportation infrastructure, while intimidating and maze-like (bullet/local trains, buses, the metro) I quickly fell in love how convenient and smoothly things ran. With a suica pass I would actually get on trains with no real destination just to enjoy the ride hahaha (and the a/c).
- Careful, this comic author might figure out a way to make a new comic about how good public transportation is bad for society
- That's not bad at all. I've only got buses around me: 2.50/ride with 90min to transfer to any other bus free. Buying two tickets in a day automatically becomes a day pass (unlimited rides for the day). Or there's a 30day pass you can buy for $70
  Then there's discounts for students and seniors.
- and the PATH is $3

All I see here is someone who doesn't ride transit.

This is propaganda. The new York subways are safe.

Alt right trash

Dickshit MAGAt cowboy cartoonist think NYC is still in the 1970s.

He can go fuck himself.

this isn't true people only fight with saxophones in the nyc subway

Or I could pay $5,000 for shitty seats and see a UFC fight at the Whitehouse.

Pay $50,000 and you decide who wins the fight
- Can I pick the fighters?

I don't remember actually seeing a fight in public transit in the US. Public schools, however... 👀 (There's like a fight every day in my highschool)

I seen some kids with a boom box doing some cool dances on the bart in SF

Throw $7 on the ground for a boost.

I went to wrestlemania 18 at the Toronto skydome, $75 for great mid seats. I stopped watching wrestling 20 years ago but I wanted to take my brother for old times sake, $400 for the same type of seats for a lower show. I don’t know how people afford to go to anything anymore. Going to a restaurant now costs as much as it used to cost to have a concert night

Consolidation in real-estate and the entertainment industry are why. In real-estate it leads to higher rents and mortgages, which for restaurants makes the location more expensive, but also the staff because they need to make rent as well. In entertainment it's all just ticketmaster, which owns venues and the ticketing system. That makes them able to double dip on every ticket, since they can charge exorbitant rents for event locations, and also take IIRC a 30% fee on every ticket sold.
People pay thousands of dollars for shrink-wrapped copies of games I rented for $5 as a child. Alcohol use is down. Drug use is down. Pregnancy is down. All this other nonsense is way up.
- Thousands...?
  Other than a handful of ubercollectors when does that ever happen?

Coming soon to the front lawn of the highest elected official in the US

$50,000 ticket though for the real grift.
and hosted by the trashiest person, dana white, and a glorified bumfight association.

Give'im the ole dick twist!

Just go to a racist town in one of the southern states. Follow some cops around

ITT we fact check hyperbole before deciding whether it's ideologically acceptable to declare it funny like a bunch of removedasses

All I see here is a joke on absurd ticket prices & how to be thrifty. I don't think we're expected to treat the comic genre as scientific assertions on the incidence of brawls in the subway. Touch grass.

Please learn better media literacy skills.
- Please don't pretend the lack of argument is a valid one. Maybe work on narrowmindedness (assuming your interpretation is correct)? Maybe work on not reading more into shit than merited by the occasion?
  Do you treat Airplane!, Police Squad!, or Naked Gun as serious, scientific representations, too?

The rest of the $497 is to not get shot by police's bullets, shrapnel etc.
